The animation was generally excellent; it had a retro feel that harkened more to 1930 and 1940 than to 1957. It would have been engrossing prior to 1990, especially because of its affinity for the surreal. But we've all seen too many stories like this since that time, which makes it very tedious aft...

The original had such simplicity and purity. This one is all over the map, trying to say too much, while diluting the power of the original statement. The animation is very good, especially because it's coupled to brilliant sound design--but the addition of color destroys the shadow puppet feel. Sob...

I have no intention of becoming Reallusion's defender, or anything like that, but we've all been too simple-minded in our mantra of "vectors, vectors, vectors." (I include myself.) Consider this: 1. Has any device ever been invented which can actually display vectors? Arguably, a laser sho...

Re: Question about traditonal animation drawing

If you are drawing a series of animation character movements, and if the character drawings do not perfectly match the previous drawings, does it cause the lines to crawl or wiggle during pencil testing? Yes, definitely! It's called "boiling." There is an Oh-It's-Cute-And-I'll-Just-Call-I...

If you want to have complete turnarounds in a highly graphic 2D style, you need to work a lot. No software will ever change that. Actually, if you're willing to settle for a rough look, iClone has already changed that: http://leavesofgrass.org/walt/29may50pc.gif It's easy to replace these pseudocol...
